Stage 3, Castello d'Empuries - L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, 176.6 kms:

Swiss rider Bruno Boscardin (Team Post Swiss) won Stage 3 alone and more than 4 minutes in front of the peloton led by German Erik Zabel (Telekom). The overnight leader Colombian Santiago Botero (Kelme Costa Blanca) retained his GC position. He was in the 4.08 group. Another group with Stage 2 winner Marco Pantani was a further 52 seconds back. The race was marred by numerous crashes and heavy rain which split the peloton. The worst injured from the falls was Spaniard Joseba Beloki, who had to be taken to hospital with a possible collarbone fracture.

The star of the day was Swiss Bruno Boscardin, an excellent rolleur who achieved his first win of the season when he attacked at km 60 and by the 108 kms mark he had opened a maximum gap of 8.18. At this point, the big combines who wanted to get their sprinters in position started to increase the tempo and the chase was on. But Boscardin did not tire as much as was expected and the gap did not come down very quickly. Boscardin reached the streets of L'Hospitalet with a lead of around 6 minutes. In the final kms he lost a further 2 minutes.

The other feature of the race was the many falls that fragmented the chasing bunch. Marco Pantani fell heavily with 10 kms to go. He suffered some abrasions and hurt his left hand. The team manager for Mercatone Uno-Bianchi said it would not stop Pantani. The rider himself said it "was a bad day".
